Can I create a "pick-list" for labels on a template in Confluence

Libby Healy

Hello Community!

I am creating a new Knowledge Base space. As a part of this space I am creating a KB template (KCS style). In the past we have run into the issue of having several labels that all mean the same thing (ex. report, reports, reporting). To solve for this I would like to create a "pick-list" of labels for people to choose from while creating a KB article from this template that would reflect our internal taxonomy. Is there a macro to support this?

I am open to other ideas of how to solve this issue as well.

Thank you!

Hi Libby,

There may be an add-on to help you with that in Marketplace.

For example, Labels Cage allows you to force users to choose from a predefined set of labels.

Have a look at the other add-ons from the Marketplace link; perhaps one there has the exact functionality you need?

We currently also have a feature request that might interest you. You can vote on it if you find it useful and watch in order to be updated of any changes:

CONFSERVER-3936 Limit who can create new labels

Lastly, there was previously a feature request for what you are asking for exactly, but we have decided not to implement this in the near future:

CONFSERVER-35684 Possibilty to select a status (and label) from a dropdown

Shannon

Hi Shannon, I am attempting to find information on the Labels Cage space, but cannot get any of the documentation to load. It looks like they have not updated their product in a year or so. Is this still a viable solution on the Marketplace?

Thank you,

Libby

Hi Libby,

According to their listing, Labels Cage is expected to support Confluence versions 6.0.1 - 6.15.3.

I would recommend contacting the company directly from their vendor page in Marketplace. There, you will be able to find an email address for them. Hopefully this is still in use!

Shannon
